D276 Employees of the Month

D276 November Staff Members of the Month

This year, in conjunction with local businesses, we have started a long overdue Employee Recognition Program. Staff members from each of our educational unions are nominated by their colleagues. We appreciate the eagerness of our local businesses to partner with D276 to recognize and reward our amazing staff. 

On behalf of the Board of Education and our November Sponsor of the Month, Steve's Appliance in Avon, IL, I am pleased to share that our November Staff Members of the Month are Casie Vidjecan and Jenny Cudd.

 Jenny Cudd received multiple nominations, including this one:

"Jenny is just fabulous! She is always a ray of sunshine and willing to support all teachers and students. She is not only a secretary, but also covers the duties of a nurse, and even ran our entire Scholastic Book Fair for all the students to shop at. She does everything for this school and our students and I love working with her. She is the best!"

Casie teaches Kindergarten at Hedding Grade School.
